Letter: A nation divided by politics

We as an American society have painted ourselves as either red Republicans or blue Democrats and, to a point, white independents.

The one thing in our society that we all look to with pride is our great flag and its colors, but those colors have now become divisive much like the lines that led us to war against each other in our past history.

The utter hate that is now permeating in this country is once again leading us to a division that if left unchecked will lead us down a road that none of us want to take.

The blame game has begun as to why Obama won and why Romney lost, but the blame lies squarely on the American public for playing into two parties that refuse to work for America and only want things their way.

We can continue to play their game or we can let them know we will no longer accept their divisive ways and demand they work together for America.

I called this letter bleeding purple because it is the color we get when the great red, white and blue bleeds together.
